Mitchell added: “I wasn’t necessarily looking for a cricket score, but I wanted a little bit more from the game than we got.

Stour now turn their attentions to Saturday’s local derby with Dudley Kingswinford at Stourton Park.

Mitchell insists: “The DK’s results haven’t made pleasant reading of late and it gives me no pleasure to see them struggling. Ideally, I wouldn’t want to see them in the bottom three.

“But as far as I’m concerned, it’s business as usual and I just want to make sure we get five points from the game.

“I know the game with Dudley Kingswinford is always met with a great deal of anticipation, it’s a proper Black Country derby and I’m sure it will be played with a great deal of passion, but it’s important that we stick to our style and system.”

Ironically Stour have three players out on loan with the DK’s in Greg MacDonald, Ashley Oyekan and Tom May – but all three are currently injured.

And despite the fact Drew Harper has returned to the fold, Mitchell has hinted he might make one more signing as fly-half Sam Robinson is struggling with injury.
